Warnings for Temperature Settings

• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C

in terms of its efficiency.

• The thermostat setting should be done by taking into consideration how often the

fresh food and freezer doors are opened and closed, how much food is stored in the

refrigerator, and the environment in which the refrigerator is located.

• Your fridge should be operated up to 24 hours according to the ambient temperature

without interruption after being plugged in to be completely cooled. Do not open

doors of your fridge frequently and do not place much food inside it in this period.

• A 5 minute delaying function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your

fridge, when you take the plug off and then plug it on again to operate it or when an

energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.

• Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient

temperature intervals stated in the standards,

according to the climate class stated in the

information label. It is not recommended that your

fridge is operated in the environments which are

out of the stated temperature intervals in terms of

cooling efficiency.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL

Freezer thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the compartments.

By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained.

Important note: Do not try to rotate knob beyond 1 position it will stop your appliance.

Freezer & Refrigerator Thermostat Setting;

1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob

between minimum and medium position.

3 – 4 : For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knob in

the medium position.

5 : For freezing the fresh food. The appliance will work longer. So after you get the

cold condition you must position to previous position.

PART- 3.

FOOD PLACEMENT

Fridge Compartment

• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in unsealed

containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the

evaporator and in time will require more frequent defrosting.

• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at

room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the

refrigerator compartment.

• Nothing should touch to refrigerator back wall as it will cause frost and the packages

can stick here. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.

• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which

you will use in 1-2 days.

• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.

NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen food for long periods of time

and making ice cubes.

• Do not put fresh and warm food to the freezer door shelves to be frozen. Only use for

storage of frozen food.

• Do not put fresh and warm food with frozen food side by side as it can thaw the frozen

food.

• While freezing fresh food (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in parts you will

use in one time.

• For storing the frozen food; the instructions shown on frozen food packages should

always be followed carefully and if no information is provided food should not be

stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.

EN - 9 -

• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures

and that the packing is intact.

• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality

of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest

possible time.

• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is

probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the

contents have deteriorated.

• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting,

how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to

transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions

printed on the package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and the food which is wanted to

freeze) more quickly because of the freezing room’s greater freezing power. Fast

freezing shelves are the middle drawers of th e freezer compartment

(see in page 18)

• Some recommendations have been specified on pages 10, 11 and 12 for the

placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.

EN - 14 -

Defrosting Fridge Compartment

• Defrosting occurs fully automatically in refrigerator compartment during operation;

the defrosted water collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.

• The evaporating tray and water drain hole (back of the refrigerator crisper shelf)

should be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of

the refrigerator instead of flowing out.

Defrosting Freezer compartment

• The frost, which covers the shelves of the freezer compartment, should be removed

periodically.

• Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrig-

erator circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit. Use the plastic scraper

provided.

• When there is more than 5 mm of frost on the shelves, defrosting must be done.

• Before defrosting operation, place the frozen food in a cool place after wrapping them

in sheets of newspaper in order to obtain its temperature steady for long time.

• To accelerate the defrosting process place one or more basins of warm water in

the freezer compartment.

• Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth.

• Once the unit has been defrosted, place the food into freezer and remember to

consume them in a short period of time.

Tips for saving energy

1– Install the appliance in a coll, well vantilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not

near heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.

2– Allow ward food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.

3– When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature

of the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. So

it causes energy saving. If the frozen food is put out, it causes wastage of energy.

4– W hen placing, drinks and slops they must be covered. Otherwise humidity increases

at the appliance. Therefore the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and

slops helps to save smell and taste.

5– W hen placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briefly as possible.

6– Keep close the covers of any different temrepature compartment in the appliance

(crisper, chiller ...etc ).

7– Door gasket must be clean and pliable.
